Anyone paying attention would have noted that Willie also said to not forget about Absurde. That one has halved in price over the last few days whereas Vauban is drifting.

He's hardly going to say he has no chance of beating Vauban though is he Archie. He has place claims to be sure. Top 6 deffo.

Vauban has been backed at all rates from 50's to 2's

The smart people are already on...........:smiley_simmons:
 
4.3 on the machine now, more aligned with Aus markets.
It’s just UK bookies rinsing punters once again…
 
Been watching old races back - it's basically a sprint for the first few furlongs before being steadied right down. Hopefully Ryan breaks well and manages to grab the inner rail without using too much energy. He can then sit on the front end lobbing along because I can't see loads of pace in the race. That will obviously suit the wall of closers in behind. For that reason I'd like Ryan to wind Vauban up sooner rather than later. If he can take a few lengths out the field on the front end around the 1000-800m mark then I hope he has the ability to find more than the others turning for home.

Ah I see. Collecting money is always more satisfying than winning online. I thought you were joking about popping down B&Q to get a wheelbarrow :applouse:

You love to see it!

One punter attempted to make a bet of $400,000 at $5 on Vauban, but no bookmaker would accept the bet.

You down under Lobos? :welcoming:

Wish I was. What an experience that would be.
